Hotels.com today said that its latest figures show a 10pc rise in the cost of hotel rooms in Ireland.
However, this is disputed by the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF), who say that room rates have actually risen by just 3.5pc.
Hotel prices in Ireland continued to recover in the first half of 2014 according to the latest Hotels.com Hotel Price Index (HPI). Prices increased by 10pc to an average of E101 per night, it said.
It added that a number of key factors have attributed to the continued recovery of Irish hotel prices including increased visitor numbers, additional air routes and events based tourism.
According to the Central Statistics Office, visitors to Ireland increased by 9pc in the first five months of the year while the UK market surpassed this was a 13pc increase compared to the same period last year.
Hotels.com's index is a regular survey of hotel prices in major destinations across the world. The HPI is based on bookings made on Hotels.com and prices shown are those actually paid by customers around the world (rather than advertised rates) in the first half of 2014.
But the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) today rejected the price claims made by hotels.com. The IHF maintains that hotels.com has only a single digit share of the Irish hotel market and that hotel price increases nationally are running at just under 3.5pc according to latest CSO figures.
It said that feedback from hotels and guesthouses in Dublin would suggest that prices are running slightly ahead of this in the capital.
"Less than one out of every 10 room nights booked in Ireland is sold through this booking site. The vast majority are sold through other sources including directly with the hotel; over the phone or through the hotel's own website. Hotels.com does not typically capture other categories of booking such as the key tour, conference and event market segments," says Stephen McNally, President, IHF.
Hotels.com say Killarney experienced a 4pc rise in prices up to E111 per night, making it the destination where visitors paid the most.
It said that Dublin's room rates increased by 15pc to E107 per night on average.

Tucson Sunnyside rushed for 310 yards and held host Casa Grande to just 39 yards from scrimmage in the second half as the Cougars lost 49-6 to the Blue Devils Friday night in a 5A-I nonregion game.
The Cougars (1-6) made the first half for their homecoming game interesting after wideout Torrey Edwards caught a 65-yard pass from quarterback Ben Rodriguez to cut Sunnyside's lead to 14-6 with 7:25 left in the second quarter.
But the Blue Devils (7-0) responded with a 97-yard drive, capped by a 2-yard run by quarterback Jamie Valdez with 26 seconds left before halftime for a 21-6 lead.
On the first play of the second half, Sunnyside running back Jovan Stevenson ran for a 68-yard score to put the game out of reach.
"We came out the first half and played pretty darn well," said Cougars coach Tracy Stuart. "But we've got to find a way to play two halves."
Casa Grande running back Harnish Ayora was effective in the first half, rushing for 64 yards on 10 carries. But the Blue Devils held Ayora to a single yard on seven second-half rushes.
Sunnyside's Stevenson carried 11 times for 166 yards and two TDs and added a 20-yard interception return for a score.

We had a wonderful time here- Carlos made my fiance and I feel at home, and even offered to give us a tour of Tucson (though we didn't have time). The space is cozy- the tiles are gorgeous, and the fountain in the courtyard is beautiful. Very convenient location- my fiance was originally concerned about the neighborhood, but when we saw the space indoors we immediately loved it. Breakfast was tasty, too. Highly recommend staying here.

Editor's Note #1: Happy holidays to you and yours and here's to a prosperous 2011
Editor's Note #2: You will have to take me at my word that I did not plan on coinciding Crawford's player bio with Christmas day. Irony sometimes just works. See below for the Red Sox 142 million Christmas present
Name: Crawford, Carl
Bats: Left
Throws: Left
#: ?? (13)
Age (4/1/11): 29
Size: 6' 2" 215 lbs
Acquired: Signed as a FA on Decc 11, 2010
Contract: $14,000,000 (2012 - 2017: 19.5, 20, 20.25, 20.5, 20.75, 21)
Comments: Consisdered by many the top FA position player on the market this off-season, Crawford was far from most Sox fan's radar when it came to acquisitions. On December 11th the Sox brass pulled a fast one on the rest of the league and signed Crawford to a 7 year deal, this on the heels of the blockbuster trade for Adrian Gonzalez. Crawford is truly one of the few "5-tool" talents playing the game today. At age 29 he is a blend of offense, mixing both speed and power, and defense. In 2010, for the Rays, Crawford posted a 6.9 WAR which was good enough for 9th in the majors. He went double-digit across the extrabase line (30-13-19), scored 110 runs and was only 10 RBI away from 100 with 90. His 46 stolen bases were good for 4th in the majors. As a fielder, he is largely conisidered the best defensive LFer in the game. Crawford does have his weaknesses in (a) his limited ability to take walks (career 0.337 OBP) and his continued struggles against lefthanded pitchers (career 0.690 OPS).
Career Stats
PAs: 5395
wOBA: 0.347
wRC+: 115
Unique Stat: Since his first full year in the majors in 2004, Crawford has the highest cummulative UZR in the majors at 96.4 (Andruw Jones is second at 90.8). He has only had one season of a UZR < 10.
Analysis: Although he was signed for large sums of money for many years, I will only speculate on what Crawford brings to the Sox for 2011. Crawford will be hitting doubles and triples aplenty from a spot, most likely the near top of the Sox lineup. Look for him to score runs aplenty in this lineup. He teams with Jacoby Ellsbury to create a disruptive duo on the basepaths (see his 6 steal game vs Boston). He will likely continue his struggles against lefties but I think Sox fans are going to like what he brings both offensively and defensively in 2011. A batting line of 650 AB, 120 R, 190 H, 40 2B, 12 3B, 20 HR, 85 RBI, 40 SB is not out of the question.

RANCHI: Chief minister Arjun Munda on Saturday announced a budget of Rs 22 crore for urban development over the next five years. Munda was speaking at the two-day national mayors' seminar, 'Exchange of Mayors' Experiences', after inaugurating it. Mayors of nine states, including Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Guajrat and Punjab, participated in it. Munda said, "An amount of Rs 22 crore will be given for the development of urban areas and a better infrastructure will be provided in the next five years."
A book, 'Saga of Vibrant Ranchi', was also released by Munda. "The book consists of the history, functioning, achievements and future plans of the RMC and will include every small detail about the functioning of the RMC which will make it easier for the people to understand about the corporation," said Ranchi mayor Rama Khalkho. The main motive of the conference was to discuss about the implementation of 74th Amendment of the Constitution (strengthening of municipal governance). "In these two days, we will discuss about the coordination of the municipal corporations with the respective state governments and will try to understand and learn about the functioning of municipal bodies in different states" said All India Mayors' Association president Krishna Murari Modhe.
Khalkho said, "Funds crunch is the main stumbling block towards urban development."
"The first day of the conference included inauguration of the book and discussion of some of the rights of mayors. On the second day, a list of problems of the mayors will be made which will be later handed over to the Union government," said Khalkho.
Apart from the mayors, state urban development minister Hemant Soren, DC K K Soan, RMC CEO Vinay Chaubey and assembly Speaker C P Singh were also present.

well im getting some more stuff for xmas, and just need to double check if what im asking for is correct. right now this is my set up. now i pretty much have decided to get another cooler (same size) for the HLT, and pump, and quick disconnects. now i just need you guys to make sure this is going to all work out . pump quick disconnects female male ok, so now the questions. the male fittings will each thread into the valves in the kettle and coolers. now, does the hose connect to the female fitting in any special way? and about into the pump? i imagine i also could use a ball valve on the outlet of the pump, do i need anything other than a nipple out of the valve? i know i will need 3 males on the coolers and the kettle, and a female for the inlet to the pump and also one for the outlet, correct? anything im missing? thanks for the patience in advance guys.
I wouldn't go with those QD's. Look at this thread: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/quic...sources-48350/ . The brass coolant qd's from mcmaster are the balls. Better built than B3's, and you can get them exactly how you need. Remember, don't get the kind with flow stoppers!
bumpidy bump
I went 1/2" on everything. Here is where I got my QDs.QuickCouplings Look at the HFC35 series.
so a 1/2 inch male in the kettle(or the MLT/HLT) to a female on the hose, connected to a 1/2 barb threaded into the pump, ball valve with a 1/2 inch barb in the outlet, and the outlet hose with another female QD. sound about right? i feel a little stupid asking this, but do the hoses just slip into the female QD's? do you need a clamp for the hose and the barb for the inlet?
A friend of mine put a bunch of these from McMaster Carr on his system, and they provide high flow, no leaks and aren't too expensive: Male QD to 1/2 male NPT thread: 6739K59 $1.75 Female QD to 1/2 hose barb: 6739K64 $6.01
Nice drawing, I like your use of chiaroscuro shading and contour...it really brings that boil kettle to life!!! Seriously tho, thanks for posting this. I just did a sketch of the same exact thing yesterday, as I will soon be buying a pump as well. Once christmas has passed, daddy gets to spend whatever is left over !

Clonidine is a drug used to lower blood pressure, but it may also reduce drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. The review of trials found that clonidine can lead to a small increase in the number of people likely to quit smoking. However, the quality of the trials was poor, which makes the evidence less reliable. Adverse effects of clonidine included a dry mouth and sedation. Clonidine may not be the best option for people trying to quit smoking, but it might be useful for people who are not helped by nicotine replacement therapy or antidepressants.

Missouri lawmakers gave final approval Friday to a plan offering up to $1.7 billion in incentives over more than two decades if Boeing agrees to assemble a highly sought-after passenger plane in the St. Louis area.
With Boeing the king of U.S. aircraft manufacturing, more than a dozen states are groveling before the throne for a share of the riches to be made from the next-generation 777 jetliner.
Boeing is shifting hundreds of jobs to Alabama, Missouri and South Carolina as it restructures its research and technology operations.
Missouri's enticement package for a new Boeing assembly plant cleared its most daunting obstacle Wednesday as state senators passed a plan that could offer up to $1.7 billion of incentives over two decades.
Kansas officials said Wednesday they were optimistic that an economic incentive package geared at landing a Boeing contract to build the aviation giant's 777X commercial aircraft will pay off.
Missouri's bid for a Boeing assembly plant could include more than $1.7 billion of incentives over two decades if the airplane manufacturer adds thousands of jobs, according to new information about the proposal released Tuesday.
The "Show Me" state enters the sweepstakes to assemble Boeing's next generation wide-body jet.
Gov. Jay Nixon of Missouri has called a special session of his state's legislature to help Missouri win production of Boeing's next-generation commercial aircraft, the 777X.
As suitors across the country line up hoping to land a new Boeing Co. commercial aircraft manufacturing plant and its thousands of high-paying jobs, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Wednesday stressed the company's Show-Me State roots.
The Boeing Co. has sent out a formal request for proposals to more than a dozen sites around the United States seeking bids for manufacturing the much-anticipated 777X jetliner, a company official confirmed Saturday.
Alabama state and local leaders are working to lure a Boeing Co. aircraft assembly plant to the Huntsville area, which already has a heavy technological and engineering base.
Boeing Co.'s planned 777X long-haul airliner grabbed the bulk of orders Sunday at the first day of the Dubai Airshow, with at least 225 planes on the books in an eye-popping display of the spending power and aggressive expansion efforts of Gulf carriers.
South Carolina lawmakers say they will try to bring Boeing's production of a new 777X jet to the state.
The Boeing Co. said Thursday it will not negotiate with the machinists union regarding a new labor contract until prior to the current contract expiration in 2016.
About 20,000 Boeing machinists in the Puget Sound cast their ballots Wednesday on a contentious contract proposal that would have workers exchange concessions for decades of secure jobs.

Hello everyboby, iam working a pipeline isometric simply with a line and a reference point. Every single spool-pipeline is represented with a line at space. I give the coordinates x-y-z of the 2 points of the line but i cant install them (the coordinate numbers) so i can see them at the draft to be able to continue. Any idea ? If i put them by text it is very very time cunsuming.. Every idea could be useful ,
thanks in advance J.K
There are alot of problems with 3D sketches. I would insert the first line just the way you do, with coordinatesBUT, only add the coordinates of the initial point and not the end point. Then skip the coordinates for the rest of the lines and only continue from a point of the previous line. Make sure you paralell constrain the lines to the original axes, at least those lines that can be constrained this way.
artist88 wrote:Every idea could be useful ,
Nearly all of my 3D sketches are generated by and controlled from 2D sketches.
Much easier to create and far far easier to edit.
JDMather; It's an option too, especially if you work with frame generator.
artist88: When you put the coordinates for the initial line you can chose how to put the next line. Don't choose corrdinate instead just simply click the end of the first line and you have a continuance. So there's no need to add the coordinates again. the coordinates are only important for the first line to start in the origin.
When you set your second line you can choos what in what plane to draw the line. you see three planes where you click to put the second line. The "parelell tool" is somply the paralell contraint. In 3D sketch most of the constraints are unavailable due to obvious reasons, but the paralell contraints is the one you mostly use.
Bottom line, you don't need to add the first line with coordinates if you need a specific length, you just simply put the first point for the the first line in the origin and the second point wherever else and then dimension the line.

Skip the sunnies. Surprising, right? A shoddy pair of cheap lenses can end up causing more damage than squinting through the rays does. Most poorly made sun specs have little ultraviolet protection—just darkened shades, which can trick your pupils into dilating and letting in more damaging rays. "Ideally, you want a pair that touts 400 nanometers—meaning 100 percent—of UV protection, which keeps harmful rays from hitting the lens and retina," says Lauren Yeager, M.D., an ophthalmologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. So if those cute cat's-eye sunnies don't have a sticker clearly touting that 400 number, pick up a cheap straw or cotton wide-brimmed hat.

text: Ok all, My sister is gone and Kimberleys birthday was today. Everything is back to normal at my house. I need to get back on plan really bad. This is the exact point where I seem to back slide. I have done it the past 3 years in a row. I lose 40 to 50 lbs and then some event or whatever knocks me off plan and I never get back on. I really need to kick it in gear. I had a 3 lb gain last week. I know I said I was not going to weigh but I did anyway. I will most likely have a gain this week or at the very best stay the same. I sure do need your support. I don't want to leave tha site like I have in the past. This place is my life line. Thanks for listening.

I am Ciaran from Germany. I've been around for quite a while now and I appreciate the forum. Thanks so much for adding one. ;) I might keep a little to myself, though, since I don't feel very comfortable knowing there are so many of you reading my rusty English. Although I'm practicing - I still need a looong time to write one sentence which isn't full of mistakes or uses bad, bad grammer.
I've been knitting since 2006 and really enjoy "Knitting Daily".
So, hello to everybody and nice meeting you all. :)
Wow Ciaran - your English is excellent! I'm evious that you are in Germany with all of the lovely sock yarns. My dad goes to Germany every year in September and brings me home lots of colorful sock yarns. Do you knit socks?
I love Opal yarn for socks!! We lived in Gerany for 10 years and I wasn't knitting then--can you believe it? You have such great yarn stores----even as a non knitter, I knew that!
Hello Terry,
thank you very much. I try very hard and use an online dictionary. ;)
Where in Germany does your Dad go to? Does he work here?
I was on vacation in Florida these past two weeks and all yarn stores I went to had German sock yarn! Isn't that funny? I got lots of American yarn, though. ;)
Yes, I knit socks but I'm only a beginner. Do you knit them, too?
Hi JoAnn,
really, you used to live here? Where did you live? I sure know "Opal Sockenwolle" (=Opal Sock Yarn)! ;)
Hm, there are some great yarn stores but they are hard to find. And they are usually much smaller than American yarn stores. I enjoyed visiting yarn stores in Florida - there were so many nice people there and all of them knew stuff about Germany. I hadn't expected our small country to be known - and liked! :) - by so many people in the United States.

Simon Wise:
There is also Debian testing somewhere in between. And there is Debian
CUT ("Constantly Usable Testing), which essentially is a rolling release
consisting of Debian testing snapshots:
Unfortunately they have decided to pause that project until Debian
Wheezy is released.
I hope that a Debian sid based rolling release will be developed some
time in the near future within the Debian project. Maybe Debian CUU
(Constantly Usable Unstable) or CUS (Constantly Usable Sid).
But you can already get something very similar by installing Debian
stable, configuring sid repositories and upgrading frequently. But
expect to spend some time repairing something in the system every few
months - another reason to make backups.

Non-compensation expenses for Apollo's Management Business were $59.1 million during the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $10.8 million, or 22%, from the third quarter of 2011. The increase in non-compensation expense during the third quarter of 2012 was largely driven by $7.6 million and $4.1 million of additional general administrative expenses and professional fees, respectively, which were both impacted in part by the acquisition of Stone Tower Capital LLC and its related management companies (collectively "Stone Tower") in April 2012.
Private Equity Segment
ENI from Apollo's private equity segment was $240.2 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to an economic net loss of $886.9 million for the third quarter of 2011. The quarter over quarter change was largely driven by total carried interest income of $340.6 million during the third quarter of 2012, compared to a total carried interest loss of $1,358.6 million during the third quarter of 2011. Income from equity method investments was $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to a loss from equity method investments of $39.4 million for the same period in 2011.
The performance of Apollo's private equity funds, as measured by IRR, improved during the third quarter of 2012. From its inception in 2008 through September 30, 2012, Fund VII has generated an annual gross and net IRR of 35% and 26%, respectively. Fund VI, which began investing in 2006, continued to generate an annual gross and net IRR of 9% and 8%, respectively, since its inception through September 30, 2012. The combined fair value of Apollo's private equity funds was 55% above cost as of September 30, 2012 and appreciated by 8% during the third quarter of 2012. Uncalled private equity commitments were $7.1 billion as of September 30, 2012, which includes approximately $700 million from Apollo's natural resources fund.

I'm new to Nepenthes but not to cultivating carnivorous plants and so this is my first purchase. Unfortunately, the care card that came with it is useless and "The Savage Garden" has little insight on this plant.
I want to keep it outdoors, preferably in a location that only gets morning sun.
What is the temperature range of tolerance for this plant and does it need a lot of humidity? Is it a lowland or highland variety? Several pitchers are shriveled up a brown, should I remove them? And should I be worried that so many When should the plant be repotted and what soil mix is preferred? Is foliar fertilization necessary? Sorry if that's so many questions but I always want to be sure about raising a new plant. I've included a few pics for reference. [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/s4t9bo.jpg[/IMG]

Bright, filtered Sun. Keep moist at all times (Not in a water tray!) and clip off any pitchers that are dieing or you can't stand. They can not tolerate frost. |
Nepenthes for the most part are easy to grow BUT in order for them to produce pitchers require humidity levels of at least 50% preferably 60%. Bright light and morning sun also needed. Here in the NE I give mine direct sun most of the day except high summer along with high humidity and lack of humidity will cause pitcher loss. Scott |

Well, it's been a little over a month and I've gotten one new pitcher so far. New leaves are unfurling from the top. I have a quick follow up question about watering. How tolerant are Nepenthes of tap water compared to other CPs? My local water is 200ppm. |
It is said they can tolerate tap water but I would say it depends on the TDSs. I don't know if 200 is too high. I'd use rainwater or distilled personally. |
- Posted by RainforestGuy none (My Page) on Mon, Jun 18, 12 at 21:37
Don't pamper your nepenthes, they can take a lot of hell with ease. Do get them accustomed to growing ina particular area and do not move it around. N. Miranda has N. northiana in it as a parent and this species does not like to be moved around too much. But because this is a hybrid, they will adapt much better to their new surroundings much quicker and show positive growth signs. The reason why your plant isn't making much pitchers is because it needs nitrogen and it isn't receiving any with pitcher-less plant parts. Feed your plants with a dilute GrowMore Liquid Seaweed Extract and or Peter's Soluble fertilizer. Just a few watering applications will lead your plant in the right direction for growth and development of attractive big pitchers. |

Planning lunches & such would be easier if we had a general idea of how many people will attend.
Please just post to this thread, & let us know "how many in your party". (I know some are bringing kiddoes & spouses & stuff). Remember: It does not matter if you don't have much, or even *anything* to trade. There'll be tons of "free-to-good-home" plants, & you'll get to put faces to Texas Forum names, & the company is always lively, entertaining, & educational. so please chime in! |

I wish I could give a better count but I have me & Donna confirmed. Donna's son & a friend may attend & I also have 2 little grandaughters & maybe 1 other friend that may come. All that to say 2 confirmed & 5 maybe's I figured that I would also bring a couple packs of hotdogs & buns to make sure we have enough. Who's bringing the ketchup & mustard? Debbie |
Me and my Mom. Kristi |
Just me.... don't include me in the hot dog count though. |
Two for me! My husband and I will be there. Danna |
Hey - I am bringing - grandson & dh, so that makes 3 of us. tina_2 |
I am coming. Maybe with son - wife might keep him here if she can stay home. I invited and might come - 3 teachers with spouses... they might be there. |
sylvia, unfortuantely I won't be able to make it. I was looking forward to those kolanchoes! |
Even though I haven't had a chance to post much I will definitely be there. |
I sent Vanessa an email.....Sure hope she gets it!! Kristi |
I called her and left a message just to be on the safe side. Hope she checks her voice mail more regularly than I do! |

Liz, we've moved the date to the 14th due to cold & rainy weather forecast. hope you can come that week-end. I have kolanchoes & a couple of different kinds of vinca groundcover for you. |
Donna & I plan to be there on the 14th. I will most likely have 2 grandaughters with me & may have 3 other guests - won't know until next week. If they come I will bring the extra hot dogs & buns. Ok Debbie |

Thanks for posting this Sylvia. Will sure help me to plan. For me - its me and DH. |
I'll be there, and I'm bringing my mom and my sister. My girlfriend from work, Gwen, will be meeting us there as well, so that's 4 for the Seamommy Party, please. I just assumed since there were so many responses, that anyone bringing food had better bring a bunch of it. Cheryl |
Looks good for me. Hope to be there by 11 a.m. will bring some seasoned crackers and cheese. Still have the plants listed before ( except a couple that I got talked out of) But still have those that were committed. Barb, if you still want to come on Fri and pick up the plants to get them there early, you are welcome to do so. Also, ANY of you are welcome to come smell the roses. Have a few real stinkers!! Weldon |

Not to worry about food. I always bring waaaaaayy too much. So I'll have the hot dogs covered. I'm also bringing plenty of coke, diet coke and bottled water. I'll check in on Friday for an estimated head count and will come fully prepared. |
"I always bring waaaaaayy too much" LOL, I guess the husband and kids know "what's for supper" for a while after the swap, huh?? Kristi |
I'm hoping to come and bring my daughter. It looks like we've got a repeat of last week's storm, coming through beginning tomorrow morning so it'll depend on the weather, of course. Robin |
count me in for 1 Dorothy B. |
I finally got everything arranged/rearranged, and I can come! I was afraid I might not be able to make it, but everything finally worked out. I'll be bringing my 16-year old son for company on the FIVE hours of driving for this trip, not counting the driving we'll do running around Ft. Worth! Count us in, party of two. |
- Posted by barefoot_in_texas Texas Z8 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 12, 07 at 16:05
I think we are up to about 50 now. With some of those being "maybes". I'm also bringing plenty of catsup, mustard, sweet pickle relish and hot dog relish. Y'all really don't need to bring extra dogs or buns. Trust me, we will have plenty. And the good part is, DH is able to tag along so he will be our cook for the day. Since I have very few plants to trade, this is my contribution and I am happy to do it. |
- Posted by mikeandbarb z8 D/FW (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Apr 12, 07 at 18:26
I hope the rain stops early Saturday. I plan on being there, maybe under a big umbrella LOL but will be there. |
I'll bring the DEET. Cheryl |
DH and I are still planning to make that long drive too (2.5 hours) but feel it should be worth it! We'll bring a friend and aprons and beauty berries and watercress and liriope. Dorothy |
Since its looking like its going to feel chilly at the swap I plan to bring a hot drink set up. Coffee, tea, cocoa, apple cider for those who might want to hold something warm in their hands. |
Excellent idea Melvalena, thank you! Kristi |
Hi all. Has anyone seen this? You may want to check the site. It sounds very interesting. It sounds like a nice plant sale. Also, the proceeds go to restoring the place. Just thought, I would mention it. tina_2 http://www.southsidepreservation.com/ |

If you carry a blueprint of God you will go on missing God - because you have not known him before. Yes, others have known, but whatsoever they have said are only maps. I can give you only a map. All knowledge is a map. Don't start worshipping the map, don't start creating a temple around the map. That's how temples have been created. One temple is devoted to the Vedas, another to the Bible, another to the Koran - these are maps! These are not the real country, they are only charts. When I say something to you, I have to use words. Words reach you, you jump upon the words, you start hoarding the words - the mind is a great hoarder - and then you start thinking that you know.
This is not the way to know. The way to know is to discard all knowledge. And discard it in a single blow! Don't go slowly, gradually. If you see the point it can happen in this very moment. In fact, to see the point is to let it happen. You need not do anything in particular, you need not even drop knowledge. Just seeing the point that knowledge cannot make you a knower - in fact it will hinder you - seeing this, the revolution.seeing this, the transformation.
So when the mind is naked, is silent, is nonfunctioning, is in utter waiting, then there comes truth. Then there is truth. It need not come from anywhere, it has always been there. But you were so full of knowledge, hence you went on missing it.
Nothingness can know truth because in nothingness intelligence functions totally. Only in nothingness does intelligence function totally. That's why - you see the miracle! - children are so intelligent and old people, by and by, become so dull. Children learn things so fast! The older you become the more difficult it becomes to learn. If you are old and you want to learn Chinese, you will take thirty years; and a child learns within two or three years.
Now scientists say that a child can learn at least four languages very easily if he is just exposed to four languages - very easily! This is the minimum. The maximum has not yet been decided: how many languages a child can learn together if he's exposed to them. It happens! If the family is multilingual it happens very easily. If the town is multilingual it happens very easily. In Bombay it happens easily: the child will learn Hindi, English, Marathi, Gujarati, very easily. The child needs only to be exposed. He is so intelligent that he immediately sees the point of it and learns it. The older you become, the more difficult.
It is very difficult, they say, to teach an old dog new tricks. It need not be so! If you remain a nothingness, then it need not be so - because then you remain a child your whole life.
Socrates is a child even when he is dying, because he is still vulnerable, open, ready to learn; ready to learn even from death! When he is lying on the bed and the poison is being prepared - at six o'clock he will be given the poison, as the sun will be setting - he is so excited, like a child. His disciples are crying and weeping, and he is so excited. He gets up again and again and goes out to inquire of the man who is preparing the poison: "How long will it take?" - his eyes are so curious. And the man is going to die! - this is no time to be so curious. The man is going to breathe his last breath within minutes, and he is so excited, so ecstatic. One disciple asks, "For what are you getting so excited? You are going to die!" And Socrates says, "I have known life, and I have learned much from life. Now I would like to know death and learn from death. That's why I'm excited."

So we had our first big uh oh of our kitchen remodel yesterday. My brother-in-law (who is a contractor and plumber by trade) has been helping us with this huge DIY project. He was over yesterday and I get this text from him: "I screwed up your end panel on the fridge. Not at all kidding. I will see what I can do about fixing it. If I cannot I will get you a new panel." Well, my heart stood still for a moment. I calmly texted back and asked what happened. He responded that he was installing the small piece of trim that goes above the fridge to make it look more built in and like an idiot (his words, not mine) he used the wrong size screws and after screwing in 3 of them, he realized they were going completely through the end panel. Again, my heart stood still for a moment. I said do what you can and we'll talk when I get home. When I got home it wasn't near as bad as I expected it. He had filled in the holes with wood filler. It wasn't exactly the right color but he was still working on it and was mixing two different colors of filler together to customize the color some more. He promised that if I was not happy with the repair he would purchase a new panel so I went to bed praying that he could fix it satisfactorily because taking it out and replacing it would not be a simple fix. He continued working on it. I'm not even sure how long he worked on it last night. Well, I got us this morning and... instead of stopping, my heart sung!!! I didn't even see it on first glance. Of course I know it's there and I can pick it out but it's an excellent repair and no need to replace the panel. I'm sure his heart sung too when I texted him that this morning!!! |

I can't see a thing. Hugs to your BIL! I hope that's your last oops - or any others can be as beautifully resolved. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 11:47
Same thing happened to us (no BIL involved though) with same result. I suppose if I were more nit-picky, I could have asked for a new panel, but I'm not, so I didn't, and it looks fine. Yours looks beautiful - tell your BIL for us that he did a wonderful job! |
Oh, how fantastic. And you handled it so well. Being a relative, so many people feel it's Ok to let loose on them when something goes wrong. I'm sure he appreciated the opportunity to make it right. Imagine his heart stopping! I was given siding for my house. It came from demo jobs at Andrews Air Force Base. I didn't have quite enough to do one last side. The fellow doing it picked some up he felt was a good match. I had no options, so I said, "Cool." The next morning I went out to see how it had gone while I was at work the night before. I ended up weeding for about an hour. When I got back in the house, I realized I'd forgotten to look at the siding. Then I realized if it hadn't been a good match, I wouldn't have spent an hour blissfully [snort] weeding. I'd have had a heart sinking moment. :) So great when things turn out so well. And, BTW. That panel is really beautiful! Is it cherry? The only wood I can sometimes identify is oak. |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 11:59
It may need a little touch-up as your natural cherry darkens, but you stop noticing the little flaws eventually anyway. |
Yes, CEFreeman, it is cherry. He was so relieved when I didn't freak out! That's just not my way. In my 46 years of life I have learned maybe just a few things and one of those things is that freaking out rarely gives you the results you are looking for!! |
I didn't notice the screw holes at all, what I did notice was the panel is installed upside down....cathedrals should be pointing up |
- Posted by athomesewing (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 12:14
Wow, what a great job! I sure can't see that anything happened. I can imagine how relieved you feel. I noticed your kitchen awhile back, I must say that it is looking great. I can't wait to see more photos of those beautiful cherry cabinets. Do you have any of your drawer fronts on yet? And, as your progress continues, are you still happy that you went RTA? Thanks so much for any more info or pictures. (: |
I didn't know they were called cathedrals but I chose the orientation of the panel. It just looked prettier to me this way than the other way. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 12:26
Why "should" the points be pointing up? They should be pointing the way the OP wanted them, and she (and I) like them pointing down. |
Of course you can point them anyway you want, industry standards call out that the cathedrals (base of the tree) is at the bottom of the panel pointing up |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 12:46
"Why "should" the points be pointing up? They should be pointing the way the OP wanted them, and she (and I) like them pointing down." I agree. I don't see why the directions of the points would make a bit of difference either way. |
- Posted by athomesewing (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 12:47
Wow! Your cabinets look fantastic! Thank you so much for posting more photos, and your comments on Barkers. We are about to order cabinets and I've been feeling apprehensive. If my cabinets look as gorgeous as your I will be thrilled! |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 13:08
I noticed on my own cherry cabinets that the grain on my upper doors all pointed up. It reminded me of a flame and I liked it, but I never was asked or knew there was a proper way. However, they weren't consistent as they installed the doors on my peninsula pointing down. It's just another thing you don't notice after awhile. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 13:29
Lol, may_flowers! One of the perils of GW ... you can be blissfully unaware that anything is amiss in your kitchen until it's pointed out on GW that you've done something wrong! That has happened to me more times than I care to remember. |
athomesewing...it took me about 25 different measuring sessions to be totally comfortable with placing the order and I remember that moment when I hit the "ORDER" button on the website and the sheer panic I had that I messed something up!!! It all worked out though...everything fit perfectly, mostly thanks to my DH who is an engineer and is WAY more confident in his measuring skills than I am!!! I'm sure your cabinets are going to be beautiful! What are your finishes going to be? Are you doing RTA? |
- Posted by athomesewing (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 15:03
Sounds like what I've been doing: measure, measure, measure -- worry, worry, worry! LOL, my hubby's an engineer too -- he doesn't worry about it at all... Would it be possible to discuss an RTA concern I have, off the Thread by email? Clicking on my screen name above should provide a "Send me an email" link. Thanks, |
athomesewing...just sent you an email. |

Thanks! Reply sent... |
The fact you got this far until your First Big Uh Oh is a credit to good planning and good workers. You are fortunate indeed. |
I'm not seeing anything, which I suppose is good news! LOL You're kitchen is really coming along. It looks great so far! |
- Posted by countryatheart (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 18:23
I keep going back and looking and do not see anything wrong. Beautiful kitchen so far! |

dcward89: No way would I have mentioned that to you. I would have fixed it and shut up. People who don't know where to look never find repairs. Sometimes it's better not to know. I'd rather ask for forgiveness than acceptance. |
I have to ask why the need to ask questions re: Barker off the boards? There are more than a few people here that 1) could answer them and 2) could use the information. Must be newbies. :) |
Beautiful cherry cabinets! I'd have gone with cherry if DH didn't have a boatload of white oak. So...so... pretty. Yay for the invisible repair, too! |
As a lifelong woodworker, I too noticed the cathedrals were pointing down. But you know what, who cares? Your cabinets are beautiful, and the repair is excellent! Embrace the workmanship of your BIL, and happy cooking! |
I am curious if that end panel was edgbanded on two long edges, or banded one long but both sides of the panel finished? |
ajc71...to fulfill your curiosity, it is edgebanded on both long edges. Both sides of the panel are finished but one side is obviously much nicer looking and seemed obviously intended to be facing out. What we interpreted as the inside of the refrigerator panels both had much more color variation but not in a nice way. Here is a pic of when they first installed it. You can see the wide color variation on the inside of the panel. Sorry for the gratuitous BIL butt pic!! |
This post was edited by dcward89 on Wed, Jun 18, 14 at 13:01
The reason I asked was to see if Barker labels the panels top/face/front....by banding both long edges and using a "B" back it seems as if they do not "hand" the panels so that they can be used as either a left or right panel. I have never used Barker before, and was curious if they assigned each piece where it was to go and how it was to go... |
We ordered 2 panels for the fridge enclosure, exactly the same size and they were not marked "Right Side/Left Side, etc. Now that you mention that, everything else was marked as Top, Bottom, Left, Right for the cabinet boxes and indicated which cabinet # it was for but I guess that matters because of which side I wanted the hinges. Every single piece of the cabinet boxes was labeled but those panels were not. |
This post was edited by dcward89 on Wed, Jun 18, 14 at 13:18
If you look at that last pic, you can still see some of the labels in place on the drawer bank next to the panel. One thing that made me extremely happy was that those stickers peeled off super easy and left not a touch of residue behind...it's the little things when you're in the heat of remodeling that make me happy!! |

I need some gift ideas for my elderly (75+) difficult-to-buy-for in-laws who will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary later this year. Ideally, I'd like a joint gift, but if I have no ideas I'll settle for his-and-hers gifts. They have everything they could possibly want. The other kids and their families have their gifts already taken care of, so I can't pool in with anyone. Their anniversary dinner/reception is already arranged and the other ideas already shot down: a gold clock (it is the golden wedding anniversary, right?), a trip, family portrait.
I really need some ideas! Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
What kind of price range are you thinking about. Keep in mind that "moderate" means a very wide range, so give us a dollar range of about what you want to spend. |
- Posted by onehappymeal (My Page) on Thu, Apr 4, 02 at 8:46
Money is not really an object. I really just have no clue what to get them. I'd spend $100 or I'd spend $2000, as long as I knew it was something they would like. I'm truly stumped. They are over 75 and are well off. They have a nice home that they are in the process of updating, two cars, and they spend 5 months every winter in warmer climates. They just seem to have everything, and I can't think of a single idea that the rest of the family doesn't shoot down. Last night, I saw a vintage wine that's about $600 and a light bulb went off. It sounds like the stupidest anniversary gift ever, but I just don't have a clue. Since I posted two days ago and received no suggestions, it looks like no one else has any ideas either! Who ever invented this gift-giving tradition anyway?! LOL |
The wine might not be a bad idea, if they like wine. Maybe not that particular bottle, but at least a very nice one. Get some gold paper, or netting and a big golden ribbon , maybe add a couple of gold trimmed wine glasses for them to toast themselves...and let it go at that. Don't worry about what the rest of the family thinks. As you say, they don't need anything, then give them something that can be used up, like the wine. It won't have to be displayed or dusted. That's the kind of gift I like. (and if they don't like it, they can pour it down the sink, you'll never know!) |
When you say your ideas were already "shot down", what do you mean? DId they tell you your in-laws won't want it, already have it, or what? Or did they just disagree with your idea? You say the other families already bought their gift.... did they share their ideas with you before they bought them, as you seem to be doing with them? Along the same lines as the question you asked about "whoever invented the gift-giving tradition?", I ask "whatever happened to giving a special gift from the heart and the recipient graciously accepting it?". I think if you have a good idea for a gift (the clock, trip and family portrait are great ideas!), go ahead and do that. It sounds like you're starting to think that any idea you have will be "shot down". Go with your heart, and if they are really nice people they will appreciate whatever you do for them. |
- Posted by onehappymeal (My Page) on Wed, Apr 10, 02 at 13:49
My ideas were shot down by other family members (they have 6 children, all married with families). They are great at shooting down an idea and not giving any good ones. Most of them bought their gifts without sharing ideas; but 4 of them are daughters, so they know exactly what to get (just like I have no trouble buying for my mom and dad). The two sons (I should say daughters-in-law) haven't a clue. I would give a special gift from the heart, but the thing is, my heart doesn't belong to them so I can't think of anything "special," nor are gifts graciously accepted on their part, so I guess both sides are guilty. A gold clock they already have. 15 years of marriage into that family and I had no idea! (they keep it in a box in the basement). The family portrait idea is no good because "family photos are out." Can you believe that one!!?? You will not find one single photo of themselves, their children or their grandchildren on display in their house - "it's tacky." I would normally just buy something I thought was appropriate and not say a word, but I'm tired of going through the gymnastics of returning things and trying to think of something else because they "surely can't be expected to take the money in lieu!" |
OMG....and I thought MY mother-in-law was tough to buy for. My heart goes out to you. |
Boy oh boy, what a difficult situation. I still suggest buying something YOU think would be a good gift and let them be the ones to return it if they don't like/need/want it. If they or someone suggests it needs to be returned, don't offer to do it. The burden is on THEM to graciously accept a gift and if they can't do that, they need to figure out what else to do with it. That is the only proper way to receive a gift. Another suggestion would be a gift certificate for a restaurant they like to go to. |

I work in a nursing home with a lot of older people,Now I realize you in-laws are not that old but ..one of the most charished gifts i have seen was a comforter with a white background that had been signed by every member of the family |
We have friends who were given fifty (one dollar) gold pieces for their 50th anniversary. I thought that was quite an imaginative gift. |
- Posted by Gail_in_NC (My Page) on Sun, May 12, 02 at 9:31
This is just a little "extra" idea, but when my parents celebrated their 50th Anniversary, I requested that the Whitehouse send them an Anniversary card. They did. This was when Clinton was President and it was right in the middle of the "Monica thing". LOL My dad was NOT a fan of Clinton, but they thought it was soooo neat. Here's the link. Just make your request...... My parents received their card about 2 weeks before their Anniversary. Try it, at least it's unique. :) As far as the gift idea......I was on a tight budget when my parents had their anniversary, but I truely gave from the heart. I purchased a large wicker basket, lined it with gold foil type tissue paper. I made a gift basket with a gold candle, 2 wine glasses with champayne, cheese and gourmet crackers, CD, bubble bath (Mom giggled) and a copy of their wedding certificate rolled up like a scroll (it was still on microfilm in SC where they got married) Just cater to their tastes. If they are into art, give them a gift certificate to an Art Gallery (or pick one out yourself if you feel brave enough) If their health is good maybe contact a Travel Agency for travel ideas. Do they have a special charity they give too (sometimes those with money like donations being made in their name) or given to a church. Get romantic and have a star named after them. |

I like Gail in NC's idea. of the basket-- other things that could go into it are A framed collage photo of their memories or one of them today, their wedding picture and all the grandkids. You can have a photographer do it or do it yourself with a program like Picassa--free on line. Tickets--to a concert, play,dinner theater or sporting event--you know their tastes. If they don't drive you might offer to go with them or include a limo or taxi as part of the gift. Spa passes or just coupons for hair cuts and dos. If they are tea lovers a few packets of assorted exotic teas or coffee lovers --the same. Have the kids make something to include. If they are like me, my greatest treasures come from my grandkids. I'm sure if you sat down and thought about what they do, what they like and what their interests are, there are dozens of things you could come up with. Whatever you do DO NOT run it by your sisters-in-law. Make up or get your gift and if they ask say I haven't decided yet. If you let your heart lead you, you can't go wrong Good luck |

I came to this site looking for ideas for my parents who are trying to come up with a good 50th anniversary gift for my grandparents as well. I appreciate the ideas that have been posted thus far. I do have a suggestion for the group - My mom made a cross-stitch blanket that is hanging above my grandparents' bed for one of their anniversaries. It's basically a family tree and includes a square for each person - My mom stiched i.e. "John" (son) and his birthdate and then "Jane" (wife) and her birthdate, and in between the two - their wedding anniversary date. And then below John and Jane are the three kids and their birthdates. In each person's square she stitched a little item that represents that person - like my square has a piano because I play piano... my cousin's has a baseball, etc. It was VERY well received and it's perfect because we know how when you get old you are very good at forgetting dates! I thought this was the best gift idea ever and it was very well received. And every time a new family member is added, my Mom just updates the blanket.... The problem is now, we have their 50th anniversary coming up and this past anniversary gift is going to be very hard to top. |

I have found a site call seniorstore.com ..they have a basket with all items from the year they were married...it looks great ...hope this helps.. Happy Anniversary to your grandparents |

If they don't like family portraits on the walls, then you can give a gift of a photo book. This way they have an album of special moments, but it can be put on the bookcase. I have made photo books through picaboo.com and shutterfly.com and highly recommend them. The finished product is completely customized with backgrounds, wording, and a hard cover. There are many options to choose from. I made one as a wedding gift and included the poem that was read at the wedding. |

I will be attending a 50th wedding anniversary party for a couple that has everything. I mean everything, yacht, mountain home, beautiful first home. they have requested no gifts. However everyone that is going is giving them something. I have decided to make a donation in their honor to the cancer society. She is a twin and her sister passed away from the dread disease. Do you think this is appropriate. Also should I pick up a bottle of wine to take to the catered event. Help me make this decision. |
I think your idea is lovely, Joyce. Frankly, when "no gifts" is specifically requested, and people bring gifts anyway, I think that's being very disrespectful of the honorees' wishes. They ask for no gifts, yet people bring them. Is it about the honorees or is it about the gift giver wanting to feel good? That said, Joyce, I think you don't have to make a donation or anything else. In fact, it sounds as though anyone not giving a gift would be the only one doing as the couple asked. But if you feel you must, I like your idea. And as far as the wine goes, I'd suspect that, given the situation of the couple, nice wines have been specifically chosen for the event. Yours might be put away to be enjoyed later. |
We did a couple of the things suggested for our parents 50th. Everyone in the family and some close friends all were given a piece of quilt block and everyone put something special to their family on it. some stitched, some used paint. the center was a large picture of their wedding day. It was so pretty. Of course someone has to start the process by picking the colors, cutting the blocks and stitching it all together. Our 2nd item was a video of friends and family. My parents lived in Illinois most of their life but retired to Colorado. so I went to visit all their old friends and even the neighbors we grew up with and made a memory video for them. It was wonderful. And the nice thing is that I can share with others when they lose someone in their family. |
How about a DNA test from Ancestry.com to see what country their ancestors came from hundred of years ago. A gift for both they and there descendants. A gift certificate to there favorite restaurant. An iPad. |
- Posted by garybrown21 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 5:40
Hello. I think you should gift them a family portrait. |
For my parents 50th, we got all their friends and relatives to send a photo of their most favorite memory with my parents. We scoured through albums of our own as well. The instruction was to find a photo (we had mailed them some quilting embellishments like lace and cut fabric). When they were done, the sent us the pieces and we put them all together into a magnificent quilt that they LOVED. At least that's what I gathered from their reactions. The grandkids all got together in a summer camp style get together and they all made their own keepsake crafts. Some useful links These are the resources I used. There are hundreds online though! Sometimes I find that making a memory is the best gift. The second one is to help them relive their good memories! |

.- In a bizarre decision, Israel's Attorney-General Eliyakim Rubinstein has issued legal guidelines giving Israeli widows the right to harvest their dead husband's sperm for fertility treatment, reported LifeSiteNews.com.
Only when a husband specifically indicated, during his lifetime, that he would not want this done after his death would a widow's request not be acted upon.
"In a situation where a partner is interested in having a child with the sperm of the deceased it is appropriate to allow her to do so," Rubinstein said. The directive also pertains to men who were in common law relationships.
Under the guidelines, once a woman requests sperm from a dead partner the fertility clinics would be authorized to harvest the dead man's sperm immediately, determining only after the harvesting whether or not the man refused to take part in the scheme while he was alive.
Doctors say immediate action is necessary since they have only 24 to 36 hours after death to harvest sperm, which can then be frozen.
